The meeting minutes from May 19, 1999 were read and approved. <br />2. Little League Fees <br />Bob McConnell was not able to attend, but would like to make his presentation at the Recreation <br />Committee meeting in August. This was approved; however there was still a discussion about <br />fees. Dick suggested that perhaps Babe Ruth and Lexington Youth Soccer should pay a fee <br />based on how many weeks they are using the fields. The fee he suggested was $1 per week per <br />child. Don brought up the issue of whether there should be a cap the fee since some programs <br />run as long as 10 weeks and if the organizations are now complaining fees of $5 - 8 they would <br />really complain about a $10 fee. Pam and Brian both feel that Little League doesn’t put as much <br />wear and tear on the fields as soccer, so why should they have to pay equally. Sandra and Karen <br />both feel that trying to keep track of the $1 per week per child would be a logistical nightmare to <br />try and monitor. <br /> <br />3. Capital Articles <br />Karen needs to submit the Recreation Department’s 5-year budget projection to the Town <br />th <br />Manager’s office by June 30. Before she can do that she needs to find out when the capital <br />articles will be approved by the State. Sutherland will be the priority park for repairs, which will <br />push back all the other parks by one year. <br /> <br />Article #29- Pine Meadows Improvements <br />Brian had a meeting with Bob Healy who is an irrigation consultant. He will be working on Pine <br />Meadows, Harrington, and the Cemetery all under one project. His service will be the same as <br />what the engineering department would have done for us. Once he is done, he will provide us <br />with a cost analysis for each of these areas. Brian first has to provide him with a number of <br />documents about the areas, and what has been done to them previously. Brian is going to get this <br />1625 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE • LEXINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02420 <br /> <br /> <br />
